About our Guest: 

Kimberly Skermer’s approach to coaching incorporates a unique perspective from both Athletic and Senior Executive Leadership, drawing on decades of experience that have taken her to World stages. Her methods have been tried and tested, proving effective for the individuals she champions. With a background in mentoring, training small business teams, facilitating seminars, and accumulating over 26,000 professional coaching hours, Kimberly is an expert in guiding ambitious individuals to reach their peak performance.

Kimberly encourages her clients to “Find the I” and “Find the Calm.” Just like an athlete searching for their inner strength and focus, her clients are urged to look inward, discover their true selves, and determine their genuine desires. Kimberly believes that by diving into the “I” of the storm, her clients will find the calm that propels them past the plateaus experienced by every high-achiever.

Her coaching philosophy challenges the conventional notion of success, urging her clients to stop conforming to a single path and instead carve out their own journey. By tuning out external noise and opinions, her clients find direction from within, unlocking their true potential.

The core principles of Kimberly’s coaching philosophy are encapsulated in the mantra: “Create in wonderment, Align with structure, Lead with wisdom, and Master your authority.” These principles form the foundation of all divisions within The Approach Coaching Method, reflecting Kimberly’s behavioral and athletic approach to coaching for sustained success.
